Hagar’s Bid to Repeat Ends in Quarterfinals; Green a Semifinalist in Motorcycle
MARTIN, Mich. – Racers representing US 131 Motorsports Park enjoyed a banner weekend at Montgomery International Dragway where they won two outright World Championships and were in contention for a couple other at the second annual World Drag Racing Alliance Bracket Finals.
Plainwell’s Kyle Wanamaker, a three-time reigning US 131 track champion, won the World Championship in the Sportsman class and was joined in celebration by six-time track champion Evan Muchler of Grass Lake, who was the last one standing in the Jr. Dragster division.
Grand Haven’s Jeff Green reached the semifinals in Motorcycle before mechanical issues took him out of contention and reigning World Champion Donnie Hagar of Clarklake drove his 1972 Chevy Vega into the quarterfinals in No Box.
Another US 131 racer, Hartford’s Trey Goodson, got the team off to a positive start when he won the Pit Vehicle Race on opening day.

US 131 Motorsports Park is a top notch facility. The team not only gives us a beautiful facility to use, but the racing competition is fierce. We have traveled quite a bit, and are so thankful to call this track our home.❤️
Thank you for an amazing place to race. The staff there is excellent as well. Lucky to call this place home. See you next season!
“If you can do good at 131, you can do good anywhere” My dad said that and I truly believe it. We are spoiled with one of the nicest tracks around

HAGAR LEADS STRONG US 131 TEAM INTO WDRA FINALS
Wanamaker, Muchler, Jacobs, Klimp, Green and Cox Ready to Race in Alabama
MONTGOMERY, Ala. – With an opportunity to become the World Drag Racing Alliance’s first two-time World Champion, “Double-O Donnie” Hagar leads a team of seven US 131 Motorsports Park racers into this weekend’s second annual WDRA Summit Bracket Finals at Montgomery International Dragway.
The 26-year-old Clarklake resident, one of the nation’s most accomplished bracket racers, will be joined by fellow US 131 track champions Kyle Wanamaker of Plainwell (Sportsman), Evan Muchler of Grass Lake (Jr. Dragster), Bobby Jacobs (Box), Jeff Green of Grand Haven (Motorcycle) along with newly crowned Northern Bracket Finals winners Jeff Klimp of Kalamazoo (Sportsman) and Danika Cox of Bronson (Jr. Dragster).
Hagar, who won his third consecutive No Box track championship this year, started racing at age 16 in the truck that now is the tow vehicle for the green 1972 Chevy Vega in which he not only won last year’s WDRA World Championship, but made history as the first No Box racer in 28 years to win the Mickey Thompson Million Dollar Drag Race at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, IL.
A second generation racer and an EMT for the city of Hudson, Hagan credits his dad for much of his success.
“As early as I can remember,” he said, “it was me and my dad at the racetrack and that’s where it all started. I’ve had a fire in me ever since I was young and watching his passion for the sport is a big reason why I am where I am today.”
Like Hagar, Wanamaker has won three consecutive Lane Automotive Bracket Championships at US 131 but both take a back seat to Muchler, who just won his sixth Jr. Dragster track championship in the last nine seasons and also prevailed in the track’s 20th annual Honor Credit Union Funny Car Nationals featuring the Mid-West Drag Racing Series.
